I think if the US opposes Ukraine joining, then NATO will be de facto replaced by some European equivalent. So the question is, is the US - and specifically I mean the Trump regime - comfortable with that?
Nothing would really need to change, as if Ukraine was admitted to the EU defence agreement, that is a stronger binding agreement than NATO towards Europe.
And if Russia attacks, and most of NATO is thus at war, the US will then do what the US would have always done either way, which I don’t know what it is at this point.
Well said, I agree with your take. It’s very unsettling.
I assume the US’ plan would involve blowing a bunch of shit up, making the situation significantly worse while achieving none of the objectives they originally intended to, and transferring a fuckton of cash to Lockheed Martin in the process.
